ECHO CURIO WEDNESDAY JUNE 17th with The Robotonists and Rhone Occupation

2009-06-01T23:41:00.000-07:00

New Photo, Echo Curio June 17, Big Sur July 12, special guest cellist, United Notes, Common Ear pod Cast,

2009-05-22T16:39:00.000-07:00

Greetings!! We just got done shooting another fun shoot last weekend with the magnificent Rachel Carr of Contessan. Church of Fashion's Tricky Poodle a.k.a.Charon Nogues organized the shoot (apart from April's mamosas and mushroom turnovers) and did the mad styling. Linda Immediato did the make up. We got sample paraben free make up from smash box (thanks to Farah) This image is a sneak peak of the shoot, more to come once Rachel and April get heavy on the digital foot surgery. Shelina had broken her toes, and we photo shopped in her fixed foot. Can you tell? We did some shots in the empty pond and some shots in my bedroom. Originally, we were planning on going up to the Angeles Forest for some shots at Switzer Falls. Mercury is in retro grade so of course Shelina hurt her little toes and so we did the shoot at April's home.

While driving yesterday, I heard a song called Big Sur on KXLU by I think it was the Beach Boys. This song made me so happy!!!

The Lynx Technique is playing up at the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur on July 12th at 2pm so we plan on picking up some fascinating books and doing a hike hopefully getting some shots while at the breath taking Pfieffer Falls. Our camp site is right near a stream so hopefully we'll be able to get some interesting shots with water. The Sebrina will be camping with us so we hope she'll bless us with her snappy snapping.

As the photo shows, and so does the poster we have a show at Echo Curio on June 17! If you live in Echo Park, you'll likely see the posters around town. The Robontanists are really good and we are excited about the show. April's little sister is graduating from sixth grade earlier that that day so she hopes to kidnap her and bring her along to the all ages show for her first rock show experience!!!

Our awesome friend April Laird who played cello with us for the past 9 months is taking time out to focus on her other band Wells of Rickett with her boyfriend Rickett. We all just moved into Bed Rock studios together and the color corrdinated p.a. cable system rocks! Laird and clan are camping along side us in Big Sur in July. We love her red headed life of the party attitude and hope she'll play some more shows with us in the future!

The Lynx Technique has taken the reigns of the label United Notes. Designed and founded by the graphic designer Loren Gillum, for the Lynx Technique's release of Algebra, he has gotten busy with graphic design and left the label to The Lynx Technique to self release their up coming, Academy of the Lynx this summer. Thank you Loren!

Finally, we were played on the Common Ear pod cast. The pod cast is recorded by Hands and can be found on itunes. Just search for "The Common Ear". Along with a few songs from our upcoming release, we were also involved with a creative discussion about music.

Unknown Theater

2008-09-12T10:50:00.000-07:00

We had our show at the Unknown Theater last Friday night (September 5th). It was a blast. We played with the Monthlies, Spirit Vine and Ragsy. Everyone came together to really put on an amazing action packed show. I was truly impressed with the Monthlies last song! Spirit Vine really rocked out and so did Ragsy.

The set started late because of the play FABLES DU THEATRE I went in the back stage to tune my guitar and the actors were talking amongst themselves about a man with a gun in the audience. Something about "That guy isn't supposed to be here, he has a real gun". I started freaking out and my heart was pounding. I got out of the theater and waited out side with everyone. We all heard a real gun shot! But of course it was all part of the play and it really got my adrenaline going.

Here is a video clip of the show

This video clip doesn't include Grace's amazing performance, as I was standing in her way on the above video. Here is another video from the performance where you can see Grace!

April from The Lynx Technique gets interviewed by Mark Shovel from check 1 2!!

2008-08-25T18:46:00.001-07:00

Jana from the Monthlies, Kelly from Spirit Vine and my self (April) were handing out our promotional flyer with a compilation CD. We made around 100 copies and met up after the Happy Hollows and Castle Door played at The Sunset Junction. We ran in to Mark Shovel and after he was done interviewing the singer from Ima Robot, we gave him our CD. He decided to interview the three of us!!! Jana and I were on the phone listening for the replay of the interview and sure enough he played it and played one of the songs from the complilation!! He ended up playing Hip Girl by the Monthlies!!

You can go here to request either a Monthlies song (Hip Girl) or a Lynx Technique song (Algebra) or a song by Spirit Vine.

2008-07-28T06:08:00.000-07:00

The Lynx Technique's EP Algebra is being released on Itunes, Emusic, Amazon, and pretty much all other digital stores online specifically on September 13th, 2008. We are proud of the songs and want to share them with you.

I do enjoying going in to real stores and allowing happenstance introduce me to new music as I browse through the bins. But, here is a plug for my favorate, Emusic If you aren't a member of Emusic, you should try it. http://www.emusic.com/
You can download 90 mp3s for 19.99 a month. That's pretty good especially on a budget where you only allow your self three cds a month or something! I have downloaded bands like Galaxie 500, Ladytron, Film School, Lali Puna, Electrelane and the new Earlimart to name a few. Much cheaper then actually buying 3 -7 cds!

save topanga park!

2008-04-29T20:07:00.000-07:00

Greetings!! Before I go into the details of our up coming shows I want
to first let you know about the site

http://www.savetopangastatepark.org/.

Apparently, we must protect Topanga State Park from getting closed. We need to get enough signatures on the petition before May 15th. Come to the Derby show on May 8th and we will have the petition for you to sign. Since our band is named after a wild cat, the Lynx, I wonder what the mountain lions will do if their home is sold off. Proceeds from our EP go to help the lynx, but we need to do something about it's cousin, the mountain lion, as well!!!!

The Lynx Technique will be playing at the Derby in Los Feliz on May 8th. We go on at 8:50 so get there around 8:00! to get your drinks and catch the first band.

Grace and April will be playing with Hope Easton (on cello) and Andy Zacharias (on double bass). We will be debuting our new sound that leans more torwards jazzy burelesque. It will be an all acoustic show in the sonicly beautiful dome of the Derby. We will be sending you the flyer in a few days which if printed out will give you a discount on the show. You can get a taste of our new song Crow by going to myspace.com/thelynxtechnique. We recorded a practice and it is verylow-fi unlike our professionally recorded songs on our EP.
